Everyone loves baby animals. Who can resist those big floppy feet and droopy, longing eyes? I have a lot of experience with puppies and kittens because I have had so many pets.
I remember the first time I saw my little Billy. He was a puppy abandoned on a highway in Brazil. I was headed to work, and I saw this little brown boy. All by himself. In peril on the highway. There were no second thoughts. I had to take him to safety.
When I brought him home my father said we had no room for any more pets and we could not keep sweet Billy. But what could I do? I was given just 3 hours to find a home for Billy. Today, Billy is 10 years old and still with my father. They are inseparable.
When these babies are with their canine or feline mothers, they share their space with their litter-mates who help to protect and keep each other warm. They also learn from observing others of their species. When they are adopted and taken to their new home, they will have trouble settling down. Be prepared.
If I could put together a list of tips for pet owners bringing a new pet home, this would be it.
One of the first things that you need to know before taking a new pet home is his or her temperament
One of the first things that you need to know before taking a new pet home is his/her temperament. Whether they are sociable if they like to play with other animals or children. This is something that most of us ignore. We spend so much time looking for the right crate, the right bed, and supper dishes that we completely ignore understanding the pet’s personality.
1. Animals will often display their temperament in their first meeting. Take along a familiar smelling blanket or piece of clothing or toy from your household when you go to meet this new pet you are interested in bringing home. This will help you understand how he/she responds to these different smells.
2. Do not leave toys, food, or anything that could become the subject of dispute lying around, especially when bringing a new pet into a home with existing pets. Give each pet the same amount of attention, to avoid causing jealousy.
3. Ideally, adult pets should be spayed and neutered, not just for health reasons, but this also helps to avoid natural, instinctual conflict in the home.
4. Keep plants, small or fragile objects, shoes, and clothes out of reach. Do not leave anything on the floor. You may find it cute when your puppy chews on your old shoe, but he won’t know the difference between that and a new shoe!
5. Attach loose ends that can be pulled, such as tablecloths, hanging wires, etc. Your new friend will want to chew and tug on anything he sees.
6. Your curious pet will investigate your home and tinker with everything until he figures out the world around him. Get down to puppy or kitten level and look for anything ‘fun’ that could be a danger to your new pet.
7. Tails shake. Expensive things break!
8. Keep anything that might be poisonous to your pet out of reach. This includes medicines, cleaning products, paint, and some foods, such as chocolate.
9. Keep telephone wires and electronic gadgets out of reach. Protect everything made of wood, such as table legs and chairs. Dogs instinctively want to gnaw on wood. Cats might like to chew on boxes or plastic.
10. Vaccinate your new pet before you put him in contact with any other pets or any children in the house. A puppy can bring diseases such as Parvovirus into the home. A cat can bring tapeworms.
11. Even with a careful approach, older pets can be adverse to new pets. This is relatively common. It may take some time for him/her to get familiar with the new family member.
12. Pay close attention to the older pet when the new member is present in the same environment so that he associates the new pet’s presence with something important: attention from their people. If the elder always associates the puppy’s or kitten’s presence with more attention, interaction, play, and rewards, and not with the loss of resources that are important to him, he will likely soon start to enjoy the new pet’s company.
It is important to see progress, even if it is small. Sometimes baby steps are needed for pets to get along. Taking your time and doing it right will ensure a long happy life together. You can always trust NHV Matricalm to help make introductions easy by reducing the stress and anxiety of a new beginning.
Billy was a challenge for me. He was a few weeks old when I found him. He could not eat by himself. I had to feed him a special formula for orphaned puppies and he cried a lot. I allowed him to sleep in my bed and that’s when he began to settle in. He is now a friendly dog who loves his toys. Mel and Billy are best friends!
Mel came to us when her previous owners were giving her up because she was too energetic. She is the sweetest dog that I have ever had in my life. But Mel and Billy cannot share toys. I’ve lost count of how many times Mel ate something that she shouldn’t have.
Each pet has his or her own personality and with time you will learn to enjoy it and wrap your routine around it. So be prepared but enjoy the adventures as they come. The first few days home with your new pet are really special. Make many, many beautiful memories.

Natural Dog Stress Reliever Supplemental Support
With a heightened sense of hearing and smell, small events that seem mundane to us can be terrifying and stressful for your dogs. Sometimes the stress is from the ride to the office, or maybe they are missing their human companions. This all contributes to changes in behavior like excessive panting, drooling, sweaty paws, dilated eyes, pacing, excessively shedding, or just completely shutting down. Some dogs become so stressed that it may lead to fear and aggression.
Other forms of stress in a dog’s life include:
In addition to panting, excessive barking/whining, chewing on themselves, shivering (when it’s not cold), panicked tail wagging, or tense muscles, stress can also cause GI tract issues such as diarrhea or vomiting.
The key to a healthy pup is balance. Too much or too little activity can be harmful, as well as too much or too little socialization. A balanced, clean diet also helps maintain the body and the mind. If your dog is susceptible to stress, you can use calming herbs like those found in NHV Lesstress. This formulation gently acts on the nervous system and immune system to provide a natural dog stress reliever.
How NHV’s Natural Dog Stress Relief Eases Stress and Anxiety
For stressful experiences such as separation anxiety, the loss or addition of a furry friend, special events (eg. fireworks) and illness (stress can cause conditions to worsen), the natural (non-addictive) sedative properties of Lesstress gently relax the nervous system and endocrine system. Ingredients like Chamomile, Passion Flower and Lemon Balm work to calm nerves while ingredients like Reishi, Eleuthero, and Echinacea Angustifolia are very beneficial for helping the body adapt to stress and illness and stimulate healthy immune function.

If your kitty has recently been battling a viral infection like feline leukemia (FeLV), our Viruses Kit is formulated to help support their immune system, and add antioxidant support so your furry friend can fight off invading pathogens and recover more quickly.
Feline or cat leukemia virus, also known as FeLV, is a retrovirus that affects cats all over the world, with an alarming 85% mortality rate if left untreated. It suppresses your kitty's immune system and leaves them open to recurring infections and serious health conditions like cancer. FeLV doesn’t have to be the end of the road for your pet; many affected FeLV kitties can prevent infection with the right care plan. At NHV, we strive to give our FeLV furkids the very support and have formulated natural remedies specifically to help them live a healthy life. Our FeLV Immune and Antioxidant Super Support Kit is formulated to help relieve inflammation and discomfort, add cardiovascular support, help eliminate toxic wastes (especially for pets on medications), and help to rebuild and restore the immune system.
Kitties with chronic viral infections have weakened immune systems and may become vulnerable to secondary health complications. These bouts of illness can be very uncomfortable and cause a lot of discomfort . So our Feline Leukemia (FeLV) Immune and Antioxidant Super Support Kit is formulated to give your FeLV furpals the extra support they need to help them relieve symptoms and live a healthy, happy life! This supplement bundle contains our NHV Felimm, and NHV Turmeric.
NHV Felimm is our leading FIV/FeLV support due to its immune stimulating and infection fighting properties. Herbs like aloe vera, alfalfa, burdock and gotu kola contain beneficial detoxifying properties to help flush harmful toxins out of the body that may accumulate during illness. While the antimicrobial, antibacterial, and antiviral properties in Felimm help support the body's defenses against infectious disease, colds, flu, respiratory tract infections and other conditions caused by a suppressed immune system. Soothing herbs like Myrrh help to enhance healing while St. John's Wort and Usnea have long histories of use against viral and retroviral infections such as FIV, feline/cat leukemia, herpes, viral hepatitis, sinus infections, bronchitis, pneumonia, strep throat, and many other immunodeficiency infections.
We know how important your pets are to you.

A rescued puppy or kitten is a welcome addition to any home! But sometimes, your new furbaby has encountered trauma or a severe illness before coming home with you. If you’re a new pet pawrent asking yourself if there is an adopted puppy kit or kitten kit out there? You’re in luck!

If you’re a new pet pawrent asking yourself if there is an adopted puppy kit or kitten kit out there? You’re in luck! Our Shelter Pet Happy Starter Kit is formulated to help reduce stress and anxiety (e.g. destructive behavior), add nutritional supports and help improve their digestive health as they adjust to a new life.
Giving a rescued pet a second chance at life is a beautiful thing to do! So many young pets are rescued from terrible situations or surrendered to shelters, so they may experience a lot of stress going from one place to another. Small changes can feel incredibly stressful for animals which can present as destructive or aggressive behavior. Unfortunately for rescued pets, it is hard to know what environment they were in or what they were eating before coming home with you. Foodwise, they may have been eating low-quality processed food that is missing essential nutrients or maybe they were malnourished (from living on the streets). To help ease your new furry friend into their forever home, we recommend adding natural supplements to their daily meals after they have been vaccinated and weaned. This preventative care plan is beneficial for supporting their overall health and to help slow down or prevent chronic illness (which may develop due to age, genetics, or environment). NHV Shelter Pet Happy Starter Hit contains Matricalm, Multi Essentials, and Plantaeris. This bundle of natural supplements has been formulated to calm stressed and anxious pets, help fill nutritional voids, and support quick recovery from diarrhea (which is prone to happen in young animals). To learn more about caring for your new furbaby, read our post on simple steps for a healthy puppy or kitten.
Changes in your new puppy or kitten’s environment can cause a lot of anxiety, especially if they are super sensitive (some breeds of dogs and cats are more prone to stress) or have experienced trauma. To express this nervous energy, they may exhibit destructive or aggressive behavior. To help ease your fluffy friend into their forever home, Matricalm’s blend of herbs like passion flower, chamomile and valerian contain soothing properties that may relax the body and improve the feeling of relaxation while the smell of lemon balm may instantly calm your pet’s nerves. Multi Essentials is like a multi-vitamin for pets. It helps to fill nutritional voids (especially for malnourished pets) and supports essential processes like blood pressure and metabolism. Puppies and kittens have very sensitive tummies so if you’re trying out different foods for them, or they mischievously snack on things they aren’t supposed to, Plantaeris’ blend of ingredients help to relax muscle cramping and helps lubricate delicate intestinal mucosa to aid proper digestion and help restore healthy bowel movements.
Your furry friend’s health means the world to us! Providing your new furkiddo with natural support from the get-go may help prevent chronic illnesses and other health issues down the road. If your new pet needs a little extra support, learn how a personalized pet diet can help your new puppy or kitten live their best life!
